Feast of Saints Peter & Paul 2024
This feast is considered so great that, since the earliest days of the church, it was given a vigil for preparation. Red vestments are used on this day to symbolize not only the blood of these two great martyrs, but more importantly the fire of their love. They died for everything that true Catholics believe today. This Epistle reminds us that God is protecting us, even in our darkest moments. We must respond to the graces of God generously and promptly, following the example of St. Peter. The conversion of St. Paul demonstrates God’s power to bring good out of evil. We should be inspired to see how these two great sinners became two of the greatest saints.
